This piece has been a real labour of love. I started painting a big Leckhampton Hill view last year, but just wasn’t happy with it. So I stepped back and worked on a bunch of smaller pieces, getting my mojo back. Finally I went back to start again on this painting, and I’m really pleased with the result 😀

I also finished this piece this week, another local landscape, featuring park benches, this time it’s Pittville Park.

I put the finishing touches to this landscape this week.

Some of the landscapes I am painting, like this one, feature benches. Thanks to Long Covid, I don’t do well with standing up while staying still, so a bench is always a welcome sign to me.

I was back with my paints today after some time off over Easter.

I was working on this Leckhampton Hill view today.

It’s a pointillism-style watercolour, a style that I’m really enjoying working in, and that suits my partially-sighted view of the world. And it features a park bench as a Long-Covid resting spot with a great view.

From snowdrops to bas relief.

I like to feel the shapes of leaves and flowers, to stroke grass heads, to feel the texture of bark. Bring sight-impaired, these tactile actions are part of my enjoyment of time in nature.

I am incorporating tactile elements in the local nature-inspired artworks I am creating. This includes bas reliefs of plants.

This is an acrylic painting of Pittville Park that I was working on last week - it’s nearly finished.

The larger landscapes that I am painting during my residency @thewilsonchelt will all include park benches, as this one does. Living with Long Covid means I really appreciate available seats when I am out and about.

I think my mallard painting is now finished, but I’ll leave him for a couple of days then take another look to be sure.

I did reward my muse with plenty of bird seed when I took his photo as the reference for this painting. Quack quack 🦆

A pointillism-style watercolour painting of a mallard that I have been working on. I’m really enjoying working on this style, in both watercolour and acrylic. I enjoy the almost meditative, instinctive process. And I love the loose, dappled effect.

This landscape painting is almost finished…. I know it needs something else, but I’m leaving it for a few days so I can look at it with fresh eyes.

I’m working in a loose, dappled style, which reflects something of the blurred, fuzzy world I live in. And I’m planning to include benches in allthe larger landscapes I am working on, as I often need to sit down when I’m out in nature.

#ArtInProgress #NatureArt #AcrylicPainting #AcrylicLandscape #EmergingArtist #DisabilityArts #MastoArt

Some of the larger landscapes I’m working on now will include depictions of benches. This is a sign of how I spend time in nature now. I have always loved to walk. But now I often need to sit. Thanks to Long Covid, I don’t do well with standing up while staying still, so a bench is always a welcome sign to me.

I had a great coach trip through the snow to London yesterday. Visited the Layers of Vision exhibition at KCL. It includes wonderful, diverse artworks from ten blind/partially-sighted artists, presented accessibly. I looked at, listened to, touched, and even consciously smelled art. A really engaging and absorbing exhibition.

Pictured artworks are by
Zoe Partington and Clarke Reynolds

#Introduction I’m a sight-impaired mixed-media artist, inspired by the colours, shapes, textures and patterns of the natural world. I’m currently an artist in residence at The Wilson - Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum.
We all see the world around us differently and our experiences impact on how we perceive our surroundings. Being sight-impaired, I bring different perceptions and representations of the world to my art.
